    Would you please fix the tray icon to respect the system DPI settings. On Windows 10 when I set the DPI scalling to 125% the tray icon is pixelated.
    Thank you in advance.

    I'm finding that on most things in 10 or a least a lot.I think it is a scaling problem in 10 not the software.

    No' it's not. It's just poor implementation or no implementation of the DPI aware icons.

    Somehow the developer of a XonarSwitch app has managed to fix it in no time after I pointed out the problem. Magic!

    With that attitude he might as well just kill your AfterBurner had he had a killswitch for it. I know I would have.

    What's wrong with my attitude? Is it that I pointed out the fact that there are developers in this world that are capable of quick fix a trivial bug in a flash?
    I've reported a bug, and then I prooved it's not a problem with Windows 10 and it can be fixed, and that's it. Don't be so sensitive.

    Well I'm pretty sure the developer has better things to do than fix something so trivial that one person has mentioned that I've seen and mine isn't pixelated at 125% because that's what I use.I don't have it running all the time so I never looked at it really.The demanding tone is what your attitude problem is but if you think it's fine have at it.

    I'm more than certain your icon is also a 16x16 icon stretched to 20x20 without filtering, you just don't see it, but it doesn't mean it's not there.

    Don't know how on this site?Every other site I deal with has an upload feature without me having to have an account on Photobucket or similar.

    Just use the snipping tool to grab a screen of the icon, then upload it to any image hosting site, and post it here using the image button, paste the direct link into the popup

    Do you really think that's bad enough to worry about?

    lol, that's the OPs issue? Looks just as pixelated as the volume icon

    OCD is the issue here I think

    There's always the option to hide the icon from showing in the system tray if it's that annoying, mine only shows when I click the up arrow to show all icons

    In fact, isn't default for AB to hide that icon anyway?

    I don't think so mine always shows as I don't hide icons that way I can tell at a glance if something is running.

    I've always had to 'show' the temp icons, but Afterburners icon itself always hides itself without any interference

    Either way, it's a non-issue IMO, you can barely see anything unless you have 20-20 vision and sit 1" away from the screen lol
